The food was very good. French fries were a bit small but were promptly replaced with another portion. Also, one of the guests did not like a particular beer and was offered another beer.

Kelsey’s advertises that you can watch the Leaf game at their house. The game wasn’t even on at first and the volume of the game wasn’t on in the restaurant either. Took 20 minutes for our waitress to come but when she did she was great

Service was amazing. Our server Gavin was fantastic for my sons birthday lunch. He was on top of us every step of the way. 3 of the 4 kids with us order the mac and cheese, which was a sad mistake. It was absolutely terrible mush with zero flavor, very disappointing. Adult enjoyed a burger and some wings which were very good. After lunch the kids moved to the games. We bought then quite a bit of tokens wwhich they seemed to go through much too fast. After seeing how much some of the games cost it's no wonder. The selection of game was a lot, and they had so much fun. Just wish some of the ga es were slightly more reasonable.
